The melodic and rhythmic energy of A New House comes together on the lead single and title track, one of many with thoughtful lyrics on the album.

“I remember driving out when we were kids to see a new house being built in the suburbs,” singer Ricky Ross says. “It was as if they were trying to contain the countryside, building roads and houses on it. But you can never quite contain it.”

Since the success of The Hipsters, Deacon Blue performed at three sell-out UK tours (including shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall).

Formed in Glasgow in 1985, Deacon Blue went on to become one of the city’s most famous and successful bands.

From their debut album Raintown and follow-up, the chart-topping When the World Knows Your Name, through to 2012’s The Hipsters, Deacon Blue have sold more than six million albums, had 12 UK Top 40 singles and two UK Number One albums.
